Well maybe not this forum, but definitely the fools on all the financial networks.
Agreed! As I'm reading this, CNBC's Josh Brown was saying the same thing: "I can't believe that on the 8th and 9th time that Secretary Mnuchin sez, 'Trade deal comin'...'" we find it in ourselves that same credulity that we had the prior *seven* times..." Love that guy -- HE is a trust-worthy voice, always. And Mike Santoli. And I have a HUGE crush on Kelli Evans.... "Yum yum!" So, those three. OH AND DOMINIC CHU, who mostly quotes numbers, as opposed to flapping gums with unfounded opinion..... So, those four. The rest? "Meh." Ooops. Steve Liesman is on: love that guy, AND he's an avowed Grateful Dead bassist. {
"Happy Birthday, Jerry!"

And everyone will say buy the dip and within a few weeks the Dow will be back above 27,000 and the s$p above 3000. All will be forgotten about the trade war, rinse and repeat. I'm telling you it's going to get so bad that trump will eliminate all tariffs or at least lighten up on the tariffs he already imposed on China which will catapult the markets up up and away.
Steve Liesman just quoted Bob Pisani:
"Are we one Tweet away from a rally?" Whoa!



Really?!?!?

It seems they're catching on to what reality-watchers have known from before Agent Orange's inauguration.
Okay, so, it's post-13:00, so we're painting today's close into tomorrow's EuroOpen. This means, either get the selling done, or start the re-buy. I posted that if we kept at 2860, we'd hit the bottom, but if we breached 2850, Look Out.
Well, we DID breach 2850, and we did it on a fair amount of volume

. So, my finger would be off the
BUY button until we
get above a 4-hour SMA. It's about 10 points above market right now, so call it,
2865. That would miss those 10 points, but too bad: any decline after Euroclosoe+USlunch = trouble,
especially on volume.
If we can climb on volume, or breach that 4hour SMA, that would be a much better basis for a BUY.
